The La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 is a long, thick giant that marks this historic brand’s foray into the over 70-ring gauge arena. It’s muscular, dark coffee bean Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper is artfully placed over a Nicaraguan binder and a filler made of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. This splendid blend offers a potent yet flavorful smoking experience with notes of wood and spice and a sweet finish. It is handmade at the famed El Credito factory in the Dominican Republic.
